We’re developing a new student residence in the heart of our St Lucia campus at the corners of Walcott, Rock and Hood Streets. The perfect place to study, unwind and connect with new friends.
The new UQ student residence will be both high quality and competitively priced to encourage the enrolment of a diverse cohort of students, including those from less advantaged backgrounds and from rural and remote areas. Integration with other services on campus will provide a seamless experience for students and will help them to adjust to university life.
When
The development of an on-campus residence will help UQ attract, support, and retain a diverse and inclusive mix of high-achieving staff and students and is expected to be open from Semester 1 2022.
